I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides long-term or brief-term psychotherapy to individuals or couples. I work with adolescents and adults who have a variety of concerns, including: academic and work problems, AD/HD, anxiety, chronic health problems, depression and mood disorders, learning issues, relationship problems, and trauma. If you have any of these issues, there are many ways for you to be more comfortable, confident, and content. Working together, we will identify specific strategies to help you reduce distress, increase satisfaction, and move forward in your life.

I also provide psychological assessments in the following domains: cognitive, AD/HD, and personality. An assessment can help you understand how you think, feel, and behave, and indicate strategies to improve your life.

As a certified sex therapist, I help people understand why they are not having the sex they want to have. By gaining insight into their sexual lives, identities, and experiences, clients are able to fulfill their desires. My approach is direct and compassionate. Creating a collaborative relationship, we will transform stuck patterns and move you forward in your life.

In working with me you will benefit by developing skills to effectively work with sexual dysfunction, enhancing your understanding of how past sexual experiences have impacted your sexual identity, expanding your awareness of your body's innate wisdom, enriching your life with healthy sexual expression, and reclaiming your sexuality.

Together, through counseling and mindfulness exercises, we will work to bring peace into your life. I can provide a safe space to process and problem solve issues that are hard to discuss, such as hormonal changes and the aging process. We will connect and explore.
